I always use manual, SINCE I know what I want.  Try both & see if they agree.  Win7-32 download was 96.3MB not 169.3 MB. Quote from: Computer_Commando on March 21, 2011, 05:15:14 PM

Not sure what you mean by this, but it's 135,640KB, larger but not 4-5 times, more like 35%.i have done the downloads/upgrades sent to me and some part of it sends the screen resolution crazy the same with the UPGRADE i just did

text , pictures , icons 4 or 5 times the size maybe even more Quote from: harry 48 on March 25, 2011, 03:02:27 PM

Yes. installing drivers often changes the resolution. At which point you can change it back yourself in display properties. BCP , this is the download that changes everything

nVidia - Display - NVIDIA GeForce 6800
Download size: 169.3 MB
You may NEED to restart your computer for this update to take effect.
Update type: Optional
nVidia Display software update released in July, 2010

do you mean here below and if i change it to suit will it work ok for everything , harry




[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]1680x1050 appears to be the native resolution for a 22" widescreen flat panel monitor.  That's the one you want.ok , so i do the download again and then go to display properties ( as BCP said )  and alter the resolution to suit the monitor
